We have a Black star hen who has started limping on her left foot. We don't know what it is but one hypothesis is that she has bumble foot.
The picture above is the problem foot. The picture below is of her right foot
Does anyone know what she could have?
I have a hen that has been up in the neating box for over an hour. She is not broody and she has some symptoms of being egg bound. How can i tell if she is, and how can i cure her?
One time in the winter our chickens had snow fall and the snow hardened so our chickens had cuts on the bottom part of the front of their leg. So we brought our a warm paper towel and wiped the blood away and put on band-aids and she is all better :)
Our chickens had the same problem but we cut them and the poopy feathers have not returned. I advise cutting with 2 people, one to hold it, the other to cut.
Cut in small amounts instead of all at once to minimize the chance of cutting them
